Before Your Eyes Made Me Think. Like A Lot.

The best game I have played in a really long time. Let's talk about how Before Your Eyes discusses Memory, and how I linked it to Boyhood. A movie I watched for a class.

This is honestly criminally underrated. A spectacular essay with a powerful message and an astonishing performance. The ending literally had me in tears, it just felt so... real. I will cherish this video forever, it resonated deeply with me. Thank you for making it. I don't want to forget either.

As someone who's turning 20 this year (2024), this video really hit hard. I'm starting college in the Fall, at least planning too, and coming to grips with my anxiety of the now- be it going in to apply to a job, my past and mistakes I've made, seeing everyone around me already so far ahead in life- where I thought I was supposed to be years before. It's so scary to move forward, because it's so easy to stay where I am and look back. Thank you for this video, I'm for sure adding Boyhood to my watchlist of movies I need to see after this. I hope a little over two years of you posting this video you're doing good in life man, really do. Much love

[@ConversingGames]

Insane that it's been two years since I made this! But yeah I'm doing alright. My advice is just keep cruising. Do what makes you happy; nothing is more important.

My jaw dropped when I saw that this channel had less than 300 views. This was truly a beautiful video. It even made me cry. I love how you are able to make your narration feel both scripted and very conversational at the same time. The points you make when discussing this game really drive everything home. From one 2001 baby to another, I want you to know that you’re very talented and I can’t wait to see more from you.

[@ConversingGames]

Thank you very much! I really appreciate it.

[@Gooping]

such an underrated channel, your essays are all so good and high quality i'm surprised this doesnt have more views

[@ConversingGames]

Thank you so much!

[@stillunderworld2950]

This game was really beautiful ! Thank you for this video essay, it was a really nice perspective I didn't saw when playing it. Memories are sometimes what we choose them to be.

[@rdarkstorm8414]

This is Jacob Geller or Razbuten level good. Like, genuinely this was outstanding. I can't wait to brag to people about how early I subbed to you because there's no way with how good this is that it's not just a matter of time

[@ConversingGames]

Thank you so much! I don't normally do video essay type stuff, I mainly do reviews and analysis. But video essays are definitely something I want to do more of

[@comicbookguygamecat]

Great video this is one of my favourite psvr2 games i recommend(a lot of the time if i remember) to these that just bought a psvr2.

[@yadeochon6713]

i enjoy listening to your video essays so much, you make important points that seems small at first glance. thankyou

[@ConversingGames]

Thank you very much!

[@firepenguin2450]

Such a great video. Keep making videos or pursuing your goals! Your a talented guy and your channel is underrated. Wow that ending! These are tough questions and this game is great for asking them of it's players. I think film is interesting because you can highlight the memories or instances of a person in an objectively biased way (does it show them as a kind or a selfish person for example). We can do the same with our memories and I think it's important to remember what you can and always try to frame your life in a positive way. Sure middle school was hell but I made good friends along the way and remember it fondly even if it I know I was having a bad time when it was happening. And of course that doesn't apply to every situation, but life is what you make of it.

[@ConversingGames]

Hey, thank you so much! I really appreciate it. And you're exactly right with film. It's a great tool to highlight perspective, especially when you suddenly change it up and do a big reveal (much like the game).

[@Ghandicus]

Bravo sir, thank you for this

[@swavezmartin]

I cant wait to play this Friday on the psvr 2 it looks so good im so excited 😀 great Video bro

[@ConversingGames]

I suspect it's going to be amazing in VR! Hope you enjoy

[@ehryl0006]

this deserves more views, beautiful

[@caiquin4673]

Bro this is amazing, I love your takes on this video. You definitely deserve way more

[@bomber_g]

Another beautiful vid man, keep up the great work!

[@ConversingGames]

Thanks so much!

[@pilloeglade5463]

a chilling end to the video. I remember the ending of this game made me cry.

[@NuStiuFrate]

It's weird how usually i don't wanna play a game because it looks bad/boring. This one looks great but i don't wanna play because it seems like it would make me sad.

[@ConversingGames]

It's really surprising how much having your eyes be your input adds to the experience. I highly recommend it. It's on sale all the time. And yeah, it's super sad. But it really makes you think about your life and your memories in a new way. And I think that makes it worth it.

[@NuStiuFrate]

@@ConversingGames Hah, i'm youtube so i don't think about my life. But thanks for the recommendation, i will keep it mind. This was the second time i saw a youtuber praise this game.

[@toyo8460]

This is beautiful!

[@americanzero2114]

I played this game a few months ago and I haven’t gone more than a few days without thinking about it. I searched it up today because for some reason I just feel like being sad, and I found your video. On the subject of picking whether Benny was a happy or lonely kid, I think it’s important to judge the imperfection of memory you pointed out. Every time you look back on your childhood memories do you think you were a happy kid? Or do you see it as happy when you look back one time and then see it as lonely the next time?

[@skwoopy]

im gonna explode

[@ConversingGames]

Why?
